"To Engage a Broken World with God's Generosity!"
And to Serve, Love, and help bring Transformation to those around us!
|

If we had to describe these past two months in 5 words it would be,
"God's Unfailing Faithfulness and Generosity!"
It never ceases to amaze and leave us in complete awe in all that God is doing for us! Time and time again, we are left speechless at yet another undeserving Testimony from God! His hand is definitely on us in this time as we see that, "If He is for us, then nothing can stand against us!" We are so blessed to have such an amazing community (that's You!!) around us! We say it every time, but we truly mean it... if it wasn't for you and the way you support and pray for us we wouldn't be here! We are not called to do it alone, and so you are just as much a part of what God is doing here as we are! So Thank You for all that you do! With
everything we have, we are truly grateful!

Jennifersara and I over the past few months have found ourselves in yet another season of Transition, but yet another couple of months filled with stories of God's goodness and overwhelming Generosity! We began the month of September in Loreto, Mexico as the elders of the base had felt from God to Bless the staff with a 5 day staff retreat! It was a time of not just rest, but a time of remembrance of all the things that God had done over the past year! We are operating on a seven day ministry week, so there is plenty of time for God to move and even more stories to tell of how He did! It was an amazing time together as we praised God and ate together, reminding ourselves of all the lives impacted! We felt so blessed, being in such a nice Hotel where we had the opportunity to kayak, swim, and snorkel in a beautiful ocean bay!

|
|
During our time there we got to know one of the staff members of the Hotel, and we were able to prophesy over him and HE GAVE HIS LIFE TO CHRIST!!!!!
|
|
|
|
So aside from being blessed with the 5 Day Staff retreat, both Jennifersara and I have continued serving in the same roles as before as the House Keeping Manager and in Transportation, respectively. It has been nice as we finally feel familiar enough with the roles that we can operate in them comfortably. However, during this time we have also been helping staff the Photo Storytelling DTS full time; so it has been a journey of learning how to manage our time well and not get trapped in over working. At one point we didn't have a day off in over 4 weeks. But God is good and He has given us a specific day that is His day!

Celebrating 1 Year!!
We got to celebrate our 1 Year during our staff retreat! It was a Blessing to be at such a nice place and to reflect on all that God has done in our lives, and all that is yet to come!

 On September 14th, as soon as we stepped off the bus from the airport, Jennifersara and I got to work. Literally as soon as we stepped of the bus. We had 5 days until the DTS started, and we had so much to do! By the time the 42 students arrived at the Base on September 19th, the DTS Staff had designed and created the school T-Shirts, had a University of Nations training seminar (lasted 3 days), prayed designed and created a classroom that represented God's vision for the students, organised rooms and transportation, as well as many other things that needed to be done. It truly was a full schedule as we, almost, frantically put everything together, but God made away and by the time students arrived.. we were ready!
Both Jennifersara and I can honestly say with all our heart, that being involved in training schools is where we belong! Seeing how hungry and passionate these students are for God, and how much they have grown over the past 6 months, has truly been such a Joy to see! We both have 3 one-on-ones whome we personally walk alongside, and every week we meet with them as we walk them through anything that God is doing in their lives! This has been the most fulfilling season without a doubt since we have been here! And has been such a confirmation that this is what God has called us to as a couple... Discipleship!

The school has been full of so many breakthroughs and testimonies! Every week God has been breaking the chains and lies of the enemy over their lives, and He has brought them deeper and deeper into His Love! Truly Incredible to see! Every week they go on Local outreach where they listen and pray and speak life over the local community! Being a school focused on Photography, they are also taking photos of the people they meet and will be creating a Gallery at the end of Lecture phase to uplift and give a voice to those who thought they didn't have one!

They have been so proactive it's incredible! Prophesying, Teaching, Healing, Fasting... some of the students during the very first week even created and started their own church on base! And they are committed each week, worshiping God and teaching each other what God has said in their lives! They call it Rooftop Church and even created an Instagram for it! And the amazing thing is, that all of these things that I just mentioned, was all God led! They often gather to pray and intercede over each other and the school, already practicing spiritual warfare! But you know what is most amazing? In all the 6 weeks so far, we never told them to do any of that, God spoke and they Obeyed!! We never had to, it's incredible! We are so excited to see how God continues to move in their lives and bring them into greater maturity and revelation of God's love!

The DTS Photo Storytelling school went on a two day camping trip! While we were there, we had a time of "Silence and Solitude" that lasted 5 Hours, in which we both felt led to build a stone altar for God; to symbolise our Praise and Thankfulness of how unbelievably faithful He has been to us! The whole trip was truly incredible, and God really blessed us with His Beautiful Creation!

|
Simply put.. God is our Faithful Lawyer!! We are so excited to announce that our petition was accepted! Unfortunately that doesn't mean my Green Card was granted, but it does means that they see no issues with our petition and we are able to move on to the next stage! There is still a lot to do, but we have been told that it could take roughly 4-6 months until I am in the States; which is really exciting!

So What is Stage 2?
We received a letter from the National Visa Center (NVC) where they said that they had received our petition from the USCIS and have created our case for Aaron's Green Card. In this stage Aaron will actually apply for the Green Card and submit any Civil Documents that they need. Alongside this, Jennifersara will be required to submit evidence of Financial status as well as submitting an Affidavit of Support. This basically states that she is able and willing to financially provide for us and that we won't fall below the poverty line. As of now we do not have enough income/resources and so we will have to provide additional submissions of people willing to say they will help us if we fall below the poverty line. The NVC will then review what we submitted and then help us fix and/or correct anything that is out of place!! Which is a blessing in and of itself!!! Praise God that they are willing to help us in this stage! Once we have fully submitted all these documents, then the NVC will schedule my appointments! My appointments will be held in England, and so we will be going there towards the end of this process and will be there until we are allowed into the States! So please be praying!

Main Prayer Requests
Green Card Visa Finances
We will be starting to fundraise for our flights to England as well for our time there, and then back to America. Flights to England from Mexico cost around $700-$800 each (since Aaron is not allowed in the states) and flights from England to California are around $400-$500 each. So please be praying that God will provide abundantly! We are planning to try and raise this before February. Our goal is to raise at least $2500 for flights alone + money while we are in England (for food and travel to interviews)
___________________
Green Card Visa Favor
Also regarding our Green Card process, we would love if you could partner with us in Prayer that God would continue to give us favor over our forms, and that He will give us supernatural understanding on how to fill them out! Please be praying that He would put it on peoples heart to partner with us, and that those working on our case would see us through His eyes!
|
|
Other Prayer Requests
Please continue praying for our DTS students; we have seen God bring in $25,000 for them! Praise God!!! However, they still have around $50,000 more that they need to raise for the outreach phase of this school, so please be praying that God would show them how to partner alongside Him as He provides for their need!
Prayer that as God starts to reveal more about what the next season will look like, that we will have ears to hear what He has to say and that any schemes of the enemy will be broken. Prayer for continual favor and direction from God, as we step our in Faith!

"In these past few months we have seen God provide in such miraculous ways! We saw God provide us with the exact price of our Mexican Visa renewals!! The crazy thing is that He provided us with that money before we even knew we needed it, and then after we had submitted our forms, He then proceeded to basically refund the money we had just spent on our visas! So it was as if we never even spent that money to begin with! We also saw God provide Aaron with his dream phone! We have seen so many testimonies with our DTS students, and seen God work through us in their lives in crazy ways.. truly a blessing! We heard back from the Government regarding our Green Card Process, and God continues to give us "Visa Favor"!!!! God is truly our Provider and is Faithful till the end! We are soo grateful to God for all that He is, and all that He is doing in our lives!
